An enthralling history of Italian organised crime by the author of
the international bestseller COSA NOSTRA. The Sicilian mafia, or
Cosa Nostra, is far from being Italy's only dangerous criminal
fraternity. The south of the country hosts two other major mafias:
the camorra, from Naples and its hinterland; and the 'ndrangheta,
the mafia from the poor and isolated region of Calabria that has
now risen to become the most powerful mob of all. Each of these
brotherhoods has its own methods, its own dark rituals, its own
style of ferocity and corruption. Their early history is little
known; indeed some of it has been entirely shrouded in myth and
silence until now. MAFIA BROTHERHOODS is a book of breathtaking
ambition, charting the birth and rise of all three of Italy's
mafias. It blends ground-breaking archival research, passionate
narrative, and shrewd historical analysis to bring Italy's unique
'criminal ecosystem', and the three terrifying criminal
brotherhoods that evolved within it, to life on the page.
